Actor Jared Leto has fueled rumours he is in a relationship with Lupita Nyong'o

Dallas Buyers Club star Jared Leto has been linked to a list of Hollywood hotties like Miley Cyrus, but the actor seemed to hint at a blossoming relationship with Lupita Nyong'o last night.

Picking up the Best Supporting Male award at the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards, the laid-back rock star/actor used his acceptance speech to fire the gossip rumour mill into overdrive after relationship links to the 12 Years a Slave actress have spread like wildfire.

The 30 Second To Mars pin-up added some sly humour to his acceptance speech, saying: "I want to thank all the women I’ve been with and all the women who think they’ve been with me.

"And also my future ex-wife, I'm talking to you Lupita Nyong'o!"
